Prof Jenna Gregory

Jenna Gregory’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases with a particular focus on MND. Her work involves studying patient post-mortem material for molecular differences that could explain why people with MND have such diverse symptoms, including differences in disease progression and cognitive involvement. The aim of her work is to identify targets that could be used for diagnosis or to monitor disease progression, or ultimately, for therapies to improve the outlook for people with MND.

Jenna studied preclinical medicine at St Andrews University before completing my clinical training and undertaking her PhD at Cambridge University. Following this she moved to the University of Edinburgh to train as a pathologist and was appointed as a SCREDS clinical lecturer in 2018. Following the completion of my specialist training in pathology, in 2022, Jenna took up a Consultant post in the Department of Pathology in Aberdeen alongside a Senior Lecturer post, and was appointed to Clinical Chair in 2024.
